it's way more convinient to buy in local if they have them for similar price, i don't even mind to pay a little more if it's within 5-10%

Hey that's my hangout during the summer days...lots of hot chicks!.
I went to http://www.speedtechauto.com/ to get my car lowered. Good chance they have the HID's.

When I first turn my lights on, its very bright for a few seconds. And then the goes down a bit. I want the bright look that I see when I first turn my lights on. Thats all.

Not to go off topic, but I wanted to expand on this a bit further.
Blue lights mean the vehicle has firearms inside. No AMBULANCE or FIRETRUCK would have blue lights on them.
Police cars, motorcycles, unmarked vehicles, and maybe even big rig trucks would be the only ones that have them.

the guy from HIDexpress 866-368-4900 can get you a pretty good deal on the bulbs itself. tell him youre on Acura-TL.com. His account is Crazy TL.. i called him today and he said he could get it to me shipped and everything for 199. i dont know if its a good deal or not, but yeah.. he's from this forum. heh
im planning on ordering the 8000K for my 99. since i hate that dimming crap whenever i turn on my lights.. it always turns yellowy-white after 30 minutes its been on.

I have a 2003 TL-S, stayed with the factory D2Rs in the low beams, coz they are the brightest. But in the fogs i went up to 12K for the looks, very deep blue, i know the light out put goes down, but it is still 2 times brighter than the regular halogen bulb. Where as the 4100K low beams are 3 times brighter than the halogen when it comes to the Lumens.

Hey, I spent ~$250 for a set of 6000k phillips bulbs cause I though one of my stock ones blew out, then later find out it was the ballast fault. Now I have 4 good bulbs...what a waste.

edgalang,
Sorry to hear that. Always a good idea to swap bulbs first to make sure it is in fact the bulb and not the ballast. But at least you'll have replacements when you need them, lol.

Those look kind of green. But if that's what you want, I hope you have good luck with them. I stick with 4X00K but I'm pretty sure you can find Philips Ultinons (6000K) for less than $200.

As long as it gives me more light, I wouldn't care what colour they are...My stock ones looks like their fading because its turning yellow after like 30 mins.
Here is a pic from their site with the blubs I will be getting. I'll let you know the what happens with them:

Just for comparison purposes:
Philips 6000K outputs about 2400 lumens
Philips 4100K outputs about 3200 lumens
Madcat, let us know how these bulbs turn out. I'm very interested in hearing what the color is, too.
